The Blue Line Trolley Service, through Shoreline Explorer, which runs between Kennebunk and the Wells/ Ogunquit town line, will not be operating for the 2024 Summer season. Shoreline Explorer continues to be challenged with recruiting and hiring the number of licensed CDL drivers needed in order to operate the trolley service.
Please find a message from Debra Paradis, Assistant Director of Transportation, below:
Hello Shoreline Explorer Partners and Supporters,
It is with much disappointment that YCCAC is announcing that they will not be able to operate our Blue Line Trolley service between Kennebunk Lower Village and the Wells/Ogunquit town line for the 2024 summer season.
As in past seasons, we continue to be challenged with recruiting and hiring the number of licensed CDL drivers needed in order to operate the trolley service.
Unfortunately, this has become the norm across the country for so many businesses that rely on an increasingly scarce number of CDL licensed drivers.
As we did during the past two summers, we are hoping to double service on our Orange Line route between Sanford and Wells and also extend the route to Wells Beach. Thank you.
Please feel free to share the attached information on your social media to help us reach as many people as possible.
Best Regards,
Debra Paradis
